High above near the reaches of space, a massive fleet of airships hovered in the sky. Their appearance giving off a threatening vibe for all to see on the ground below. The people pointed above them, frightened by the ships. In the center of the smaller airships, was a larger one, the one where the mastermind projected his scheme. Dr. Eggman laughed, his cackles heard through the speakers, "Greetings, Mobius! It is I, your new ruler Dr. Eggman! As you can no doubt tell, my Egg Fleet shall be the start of a new robotic era for you all!" he boasted.

Within his control room, Eggman continued, "Now, you think you may have a chance of stopping me, but you're all wrong! I have all the Chaos Emeralds in my possession! With them, I shall create a beam that will roboticize every living being on this planet in a matter of seconds! Hahahaha!" after laughing, he began to cough. "Ack!" he choked, hoping that the microphone didn't catch the brief fit he had a moment ago.

Quite a distance away from the fleet, a red plane made its way toward the unsuspecting doctor. In the pilot's seat was a two tailed fox. His eyes were focused on the fleet in front of him. Standing on the wings though, was a blue hedgehog, his red shoes matching the color of the plane he was standing on, "Ol' Egghead really loves to hear himself." he sighed, "Are the Tornado's defenses ready for the attack, Tails?" he asked his friend.

"They're all prepped and ready to go, Sonic!" replied Tails.

Sonic smirked, "Perfect. Once we reach his central Egg Carrier, I'll be diving down and taking out the mustached bald man himself." he boasted, crouching down. The fox nodded, liking the course of action. "Let's just hope G.U.N.'s caught wind of this and sent a certain agent up there to meet us." he teased.

Once the Tornado flew above the Egg Carrier, Sonic hopped down, diving down to the edge of the ship. Missiles started be launched in the direction of him and the plane. Seeing this, Tails prepped the weapons and carefully aimed his cannons at the projectiles, hitting them all while making sure Sonic had a safe landing. Once he saw that the hedgehog safely landed, Tails moved the Tornado forward, scouting the area and waiting for his blue friend, all the while, weakening the defenses.

Sonic stood up, and held up a walkie talkie, "Heh. Made it safe and sound, pal!" he confirmed to the fox. He saw that Egg Pawns were being sent up to fend off the hedgehog and he smirked, "This is the best Egghead's got? Well, bring it on!" he started to run, his speed forming a blue barrier around his body, destroying the robots around him in an instant. He saw more Egg Pawns in his direction and he held up his fists, knocking more away with ease. A larger mech appeared, forcing Sonic to slide down, the hand of the robot missed him and the hedgehog curled into a ball, slicing the mech in half, all the while keeping his momentum.

"That was fun." admitted the hedgehog, who pulled out his communicator, "Yo, Tails. How goes the flight?" he asked.

'Everything's fine on my end. Eggman's defenses are weakened. It should be a smooth flight from here.'

Nodding, Sonic replied, "Good to hear. I'll let you know how things are once I find out where Egghead's hiding." he put away the communication device and turned around, spotting more robots in his path, "No one said it'd be easy. Ah, who am I kiddin'? Of course it will!" he dashed off, the army blowing in his way as he did.

Sonic stopped once he noticed that a door was in his way, "I guess this is Eggman's control deck. I wonder what he's got this time." he said to himself, walking through the automatic door. The first thing he noticed were that robot scraps and parts were lying around the floor and walls, causing the hedgehog to scratch his head. "Huh. Either the doc needs to build better robots, or maybe I'm so awesome that they blew up before I did the job. Eh, maybe they all gave up." he suggested to himself, continuing his walk through the long blue seemingly empty hallway.

Once he heard a clanging sound, Sonic zipped to the other side of the room. He saw a black hedgehog with red stripes on his quills tearing apart one of the Egg Pawns. "Oh. Not too surprised to see you here, Shadow." he said, getting the black hedgehog's attention. Rolling his eyes, Shadow faced Sonic.

"G.U.N. sent me here before you arrived. The doctor mentioned that he has the Chaos Emeralds and I'm not taking that sitting down." he said.

Shrugging, Sonic responded, "Had a feeling that was the case anyhow. Did you find anything, other than what appeared to be more robots?"

Shaking his head, Shadow answered. "Not yet. Though, he mentioned that he wants to roboticize the world with a machine he created using the power of the emeralds. We have to stop him immediately."

"Now you're talkin'!" cheered Sonic.

The duo zipped past in a blur of blue and yellow. "Think you can keep up, Shad?"

"I think I can. And don't call me, Shad." replied the black hedgehog in a bitter tone.

The hedgehogs continued to zoom past the army until reaching a big, empty, circular room. Sonic looked up, seeing nothing but tubes and wires connecting to a monitor and a machine next to it. Inside the machine were seven capsules, each with a gem inside of it. "The Chaos Emeralds!" shouted the blue hedgehog.

"Perfect. Now let's get them out before the doctor finds out we're here and crash the fleet without him knowing." responded Shadow.

"I already know you're here."

A man in a hovercraft lowered himself to face the hedgehogs. Sonic clenched his fists at the sight, "Eggman!" he exclaimed, gritting his teeth.

"Sonic and Shadow. Grr... I should've known the two of you would try to stop me!" grunted Eggman, "But it doesn't matter at this point! The machine is almost charged, and the beam shall cover Mobius, turning the entire planet into the robotic empire I had always dreamed of!"

"You're crazy!"

Eggman gasped as he feigned being insulted, "Crazy? No, my dear hedgehog, I'm brilliant!"

As Sonic began to run toward the machine, something tackled him throwing him into a wall. A robot designed to look similar to the hedgehog stood next to Sonic. "Metal Sonic!" he growled, standing back up, "Yo, Shadow! I'll handle the fake over here while you destroy the machine!" he said, the black hedgdhog nodded and skated to the emerald device. Sonic faced Metal Sonic once more, the robot silent all the while, "Alright, Metal. Let's see if you still got what it takes."

Metal Sonic beeped then lunged at the hedgehog. "Go Metal!" cheered Eggman. Sonic leaned to the left of the swipe and moved the right when Metal attacked again.

Meanwhile, Shadow got to the monitor and tried to stop the beam, but an error message popped on the screen. "Son of a-" he cursed, slamming his fists on the keyboard. "Faker!"

Sonic looked at his doppelganger after kicking Metal Sonic's torso. The black hedgehog continued, "I'm going to remove the emeralds manually! Hold him off!"

"It's no use, Shadow! The machine is almost fully powered! The only way to stop it is to find another outlet to release the Chaos Energy already conducted!" revealed the scientist.

Sonic held up his communicator, "Hey, Tails... Uh, I'm kinda in a jam here."

'What's wrong?'

"Well..." he began ducking underneath Metal Sonic's tackle, "Shadow's here, the machine is about to go off and Metal Sonic's keeping me distracted while Shadow is trying to stop the roboticizer. Egghead mentioned that we could use another method to remove the energy! Can we do that?"

'Yeah. Tell Shadow to use Chaos Control.' replied Tails. 'It will most likely release the dormant energy already charged and release it through his own power.'

"Alright, pal. Let's hope this works."

Shadow grunted, "I heard it faker!" he shattered the glass holding the capsules. "Chaos..." he started, drawing the energy within him. Eggman's eyes went wide, trying to stop the hedgehog. "Control!"

Suddenly, everything began to get enveloped in a white light. All of the Egg Fleet vanished in an instant as did Tails, leaving the people below to wonder what happened above.

"It's waking up!"

Sonic could barely hear the words being shouted. It was strange. He could feel himself lying down on wood and he felt perfectly fine. All he remembered was Shadow using Chaos Control then everything went white.

"I'll get some water to pour on him."

In an instant, the blue hedgehog snapped his eyes open upon hearing those words and sat up. "Ah!" he shouted while moving up. "What the-? Where am I?" he asked.

"Howdy there, mister."

Sonic looked down to see three small horses looking up at him with curious eyes.

"It's gonna be one of those days, huh?"
